What happens to your investments depends on which type of account you have.
Personal Pension
You can let us know who you'd like to leave your investment to by completing an 'expression of wish' and keeping it up to date.
To add or change your beneficiaries:
Log in to your account.
Go to the left-hand menu and choose Account settings.
Choose Manage beneficiaries.
Stocks and Shares ISA, Junior ISA and General Account
While you cannot nominate a beneficiary for your Vanguard Stocks and Shares ISA, General Account or Junior ISA from within your online account, you can name your beneficiaries of your Vanguard accounts in your will.
It's important to appoint executors in your will and record who you would like your Vanguard accounts left to. That will make it easier for your loved ones when you die."
